    I have never bought from him but I have heard that others members had in the past, cause I got scammed when I bought mono from asia initially. But do a Google search and see what pops up. Also you should know that mono is dangerous and you do not lighten on mono, you only depig complete and the skin turns white like MJ

    All the old friends of this site who disappeared had bought from him. One of my friend had bought from him too. Based on my friend's result, it seems to work well for her. Unfortunately, my friend had moved after 4 months of mono usage and I lost contact with her. She got spots only on her feet after the two months of usage, but the spots enlarged and connected pretty well.
    When she left, she was pretty happyed with the result and saying that all the spots almost connected. She was olive 5 when she started and she was about olive 3 when she left. Not mush lighter, but her skin tone was imporved a lot. I liked what I saw and that's why I started my mono journey after she left. Anil's mono seems to work, I think, because all buyers from him disappeared. This is what happened usually. People do NOT need to visit this site if all are fine and working well for them, including me. I don't come here often.

    I do not get my mono from him because one of my best friend owns a chemical lab and I get mine from him. I started last year in October, but I got irritation from mono and had to stop for a while then restarted with a very low % then slowly increased the %. I am now only 2-3 weeks old mono user and do not have a distict result yet. I am just happy that I can use it without irritation. Will see how it goes. Hope that help.

    bananahamak, please be sure that you use a recipe to mix the mono according to your skin type. If you have not used mono in the past, please start with a low % for a couple of weeks then increse the % slowly, for example, 5%, 10%, 15% then 20%. Also, use it only once a day to start with then increase to twice a day. Watch your skin on how it reacts/changes with mono usage. You can ajdust you recipe and usage to the best for your skin if you're careful. "START SLOW" is the best suggestion since mono is not a "ONE-SIZE-FIT-ALL" solution. Gook luck on your mono jurney.

    Make sure Anil's mono is pure and mix it with a good recipe that is good for your skin. Then use it based on how your skin can take it to it's best. Be happy and healthy (do exercises, eat healthy food, and rest well). If mono is not meant for you, you still have other choises. Just read from this site. Again, Be happy and healthy.

    Hey this is my first post I've been reading the forum for a while,I had thoughts of buying mono from Anil but I don't know why I didn't maybe I was scared he might be a scam.

    A lot of folks were raving about this Anil guy a while back... but they've all disappeared since... so; it's kind of hard to tell whether he was a scammer or not...

    I also totally agree with lighter... be very careful with mono...

    Lighter,I want to ask you some questions in private,but I can't send you a pm I think because I'm still new here? I'm thinking of using a high concentration of hydroquinone instead of mono.

    bananahamak, I sent a PM to you. You can also check out the old forums, there are a lot of good suggestions on mono mixing recipes.
    You should choose one that fit your skin type.
    Please start slow... and watch your skin when you use mono. Best of luck to you !

    Hey guys,
    For those of you who are using a ready made monobenzone cream or make their own can you roughly tell me how mush of it you use a day? How long would a 60ml cream last if you apply it twice daily on your entire body (I suppose that is what the majority of us are doin; twice daily and all over the body?)?

    I have no experience with monobenzone,but I guess its twice a day,once in the morning and night.

    Thanks so much for stopping in to let us all know how your mono process is going..
    Cannot wait to get my powder soon...

    OK update... I received anil's mono powder today, it is an off white crystaline powder, but no flakes? Is mono powder supposed to be crystaline flakes( like salt flakes )? Or a smooth crystaline powder?

    I mixed some of the powder into a cream of mine and I used a spoon to mix it together and that worked fine, I didn't have to use a blender or anything...

    Anyway will send it away for testing soon...

    Hope its real mono...


    Anyway comparing how the powder is in the cream I have and to what I got from 7unite cream, there was like chunks of this flakey stuff in the 7unite cream and so I thought that must have been what mono looks like, but when I got the powder today from anil... its all fine crystaline powder... so will check it all out and let you all know...

    Ok small update... I couldn't wait to test it, so I have started using the powder before I'm testing it... because I wanted to try a higher strength straight away and see the difference... anyway I stopped using the fair and glow stuff yesterday and applied anil's powder in my own cream, I made it 50 percent, just to see what would happen... and OUCH!!
    I had to quickly jump in the shower and run it cold as it burned the hell out of my skin... now is that a good sign that its mono? Lol I don't know... but anyway, I made it 40 percent and applied it and it was very difficult to rub it right in... not because it had flakes... but because it made my cream like a paste, I'm not sure why it does that... anyway I had to rub the cream in for ages and then I put on another cream that had alcohol in it to help the absorption, so I could feel tingling and burning sensations all over my body from where I applied it and even a cooling feeling in some parts also... but of course around the eye area and face/neck are the worst...
    No lightening yet though... which annoyed me, as when I put the fair and glow cream on, each day it would at least make me a little lighter in some parts of my body... but the cream I made isn't changing anything, even with the 40 percent that I applied... I really thought it would do something, as I have been using the mono fair and glow stuff for nearly 3 weeks now I think and it was working everyday, even if it made me tanned, then light, then tanned and so on...

    Anyway I will give it 3 more days... if I can't see any change, I will stop using the anil mono and wait till I test it, I apparently have to send a sample interstate... and then I will just go back to the fair and glow stuff till it comes back with test results...

    Is it true also that mono won't work unless you mix it properly? Like do you have to definitely put alcohol in it or something, so it absorbs right? Sorry to ask this question, I'm sure it has been asked a million times, but yeah if anyone really knows it would be great to know how to apply it properly... I emailed fair and glow to see what they put in their creams and to also ask about the lemon scent and they said they don't use any lemon scent and that they use mono in a cream base... But then, why does it smell like lemons? Does anyone else agree that it smells like lemons? Mono doesn't smell like that?

    With receiving anil's mono... they took so long because the company that they used to send it, sent it back!! So he had to send it with another courier... and that worked and got here in 3 days which was good... He doesn't label it as mono or medical...

    When I got the powder the first thing I wanted to do was smell it as to compare it to the powder I got from k-s pharm when I first started the mono track years ago... but of course their mono was fake, so I was eager to see what real mono looked and smelt like... and it was a chemical smell, not sweet smell like k-s pharm's which was phenylhydroquinone... harsh stuff...

    Anyway and the powder was an off white beige colour crystaline powder and was very fine, so I'm not sure if that was micro? Or just normal...

    Anyway will keep updating as I go along...

    No such thing as micro mono, it does not exist it just a name that depig created, only 2 form of mono are1.) regular mono 2.) mono USP, to help mono dissolve faster you should put in a little alcohol in your mixture

    Do you know what the real mono powder looks like? Do you have a photo at all, so I can compare? I wish they had photos on the web somewhere but I can't find anything?

    Lighterr,

    It does not necessarily need to be USP! It can be BP/CP/EP/JP etc depending on the country origin. Some argue that the USP standard is not the highest of them all anyway. And yes micro mono is a marketing gimmick.

    OK update... ever since I stopped the fair and glow and started on anil's mono, I have darkened, now this either means fair and glow was fake or that it was mono and that anil's is fake... not sure what's what yet! Anyway, my skin itches and burns still when I put anil's stuff on... This could means that anil's mono is real and that I'm only just starting the mono process now and that is why I'm darkening all of a sudden, or it means that the fair and glow was mono and that anil's is fake and that is why I have darkened... anyway very confusing... will give it a week and see what happens... but the lightening that I got with fair and glow has completely diminished and its only been nearly 2 days...

    Sounds like anil is real. From what I know mono is suppose to tingle and darken you at first.

    Hey yeah I think your actually right, I think anil's mono is real.. I can't say anything about the fair and glow as I don't know how to test their cream... but it makes me wonder with all the advertising that they do... I mean they are on every single website search practically.. and on all the chemical searches... and they claim to guarantee depigmentation or your money back...

    The darkening of my skin has slowly gone away throughout the day... I scrubbed my skin really well and applied lots of vit e oil cream all over my body because I was so sore from dry skin... and that seemed to have helped my skin recover which I'm happy about...
    Anyway my skin is close to its original colour now, so I will monitor the lightening process from now... its strange though because my chest area is lighter than any other part so far... and my arms and hands are lighter than my face... oh and my ears are peeling!! Lol
    I feel like I have been sun burnt and now I'm peeling... but its only the ears right now, nowhere else...

    Anyway will keep you updated each day on my progress...

    Thanks for letting us know!

    You do know that all these are words in the wind. Without any pictures it's nothing to us because what you are describing are the symptoms of depigmenting but we can't really be sure that this is happening to you. If this is really happening then I am REALLY happy for you and it would be great for all of us to see some real pictures...
